Editor, Haileyburian. Sir: I cannot but quote Robert Burns: O Wad some power the giftie tae gie us! To see ownsels as others see us It wad foal.monie a_ blunder face us. A Foolish Motion: To the Haileybury Council's mo- tion of Mr. Lavigne and Mr. M. Buffam to ask Mr. Foster Rice to contact the federal government with the view of getting a new federat building, post office and government offices. It is obvious the Mayor and Council were ignor- ant of the fact they cannot aggran- dize Mr. Rice, only the electors exercising their franchise have that power. It is also obvious the Mayor and Council have not shak- en the sting of the defeat of Mr. Rice in 1958, as quoted in the Haileyburian April, 1958, Mr. Cooke said, "'Quote, 'Mr. Peters would be lucky if he was allowed to stand in the House', end of quote. Mr. Peters has convictions and has the courage to fight for them and is known all over Cana- da as a man of courage. I doubt if I could say the same of Mr. Rice, like many more back benchers he would stand and vote at the crack of the Tory whip. The Mayor's and Council's mem- ories must have betrayed them. In a democracy the majority rules whether they like it or not. It must be very obvious to all your readers the Mayor and Coun- cil are in a state of egocentricity. Yours truly, Jas. MacFarlane.
